Fingerprint Salt Dough Necklace

Oh, I adore my boys! They’re at such fun ages. I wasn’t sure if boys would get into crafts, but mine do. This week we made salt dough together so we could create fingerprint necklaces. They LOVED getting their hands in the ooey-gooey mix and they were delighted at my invitation to leave fingerprints. They know I’m usually all about wiping fingerprints away!

My guys are old enough to have opinions and real conversations and yet they are both still up to totally cute, little guy antics. The things they say and do have me giggling more days than not. They’re so much fun!

I already had the boys bathed and in their jammies when I decided to do this project with them. I thought it would be a great way to end the day and then we would finish with painting in the morning.

It was a good idea…but…a second bath for my youngest seemed like a good idea by the time we were finished!

The pre-moistened cloths are soft, thick and twice the size as a typical baby wipe so you get the job done quickly. You just wipe your little one down like you would with a washcloth but you don’t have to rinse and there’s no residue left. Wash and toss!

And just like so many Johnson’s® products, they smell good! I also appreciate they’re paraben and phthalate free.

My little guy enjoys his bath time but I can imagine several scenarios when these cleansing cloths will come in handy. Boys will be boys, you know!

When our necklaces were finished, the boys “wrote” letters to both of the grandmas (colored scribbles and pictures mostly but grandmas are good interpreters). They were so excited to mail their surprises to the grandmas.

And my husband and I were gifted with the jewels, too. I proudly wore mine all day, much to the boys’ delight. I’m thinking this will be one craft that gets tucked into my keepsake box.
